Barwick-in-Elmet Historical Society


The Barwick in Elmet Historical Society is devoted to the recording, research and publication of the history of this Yorkshire parish. 
Web site started April 1998. Latest update 17th April 2008  



The site contains many articles and illustrations on a wide range of our history stretching from the Iron Age up to now. These are taken from our publication The Barwicker".

A Photograph of
the children at Barwick School in (probably) 1926.

Barwick School - undated
Following the success of identifying the class of 1921, we have another class we would like help on. We think this photograph was of a class at Barwick taken in 1926 with the Headmaster, Mr. Ashworth. Can anyone verify this for us? It can be seen in larger format.

Keeping the Bailey Neat
Since November 7th 2007

After a break to allow the grass to start growing again and to produce lambs, the sheep returned to Hall Tower Field. Initially there was a small flock with six lambs which increased in number as the grass grew more.





BARWICK EARTHWORKS
AUDIO TOUR

We have produced what we think is the first audio tour (podcast) produced by a non-professional historical society. If you have an iPod or any other mp3 player you can download the tour from this site and use it to visit the earthworks at any time on your own. The podcast will supplement the detail on our recently installed information boards. The recording with background music and realistic sound effects has been produced by Audioweb UK of Harrogate
We hope shortly to publish a guide in booklet form on the earthworks.
